Thunderstorm over Essen
For this picture I went up to a near hill with my backpack and umbrella while lightnings and rain were still near.
I hoped to take lightning pictures after the thunderstorm gone by. I was careful enough to wait for a free sky above it before I went up.
Because of too much evening daylight I was not able to make long exposures, so I tried some hundred pictures with exposure of only half a second.
When I hit a lightning, I made a row of different exposures for HDRI immediately after that for combining them.
It took over an hour to have the luck of hitting this, but I think it was worth the effort. The Thunderstorm is over Essen, neighbour of my town Gelsenkirchen.
